I keep thinking about these things. Seems like you could use them somehow on a hive to provide hands-off, maintenance free ventilation at the proper temperature. They "open" at a certain temperature, then close again when the temp drops. There's an operating range, so it's not perfect, but it seems that using bimetal physics would work. Or a stick under the cover...
